PROLOGUE 

/^UR  college  days  are  drawing  to  a  close. 
They  have  been  filled  with  study  and 
dreams,  with  discussion  and  laughter, 
with  the  joyous  comradeship  of  compan- 
ions who  share  our  memories  of  the  past 
and  our  hopes  for  the  future.  In  the  pages 
of  our  Lampas  our  college  days  will  live 
again  for  us.  We  shall  never  lose  the  glad- 
ness of  our  youth,  for 

"Remembered  joys  are  never  past; 
At  once  the  fountain,  stream,  and  sea, 
They  were,  they  are,  they  yet  shall  be."

ADMINISTRATION 


TO  OUR  FACULTY 

"\X7^ITH  deep  gratitude  and  sincere 
appreciation,  we  dedicate  this  page 
of  the  Lampas  to  our  faculty  whose  unfail- 
ing loyalty,  constant  friendliness,  earnest 
devotion,  and  high  ideals  of  service  have 
awakened  in  us  the  true  spirit  of  our  pro- 
fession,— a  desire  to  lead  others  in  "the 
search  for  truth." 


•{14}- 


DR.  WILLIAM  HENRY  JOSEPH  KENNEDY 

Dr.  Kennedy,  our  President,  will  always  represent  for  us  the 
highest  ideals  of  a  teacher.  His  sympathy  and  understanding, 
his  kindly  and  helpful  guidance,  his  scholarly  achievement  and 
professional  ideals  will  remain  one  of  the  inspiring  memories  of 
our  college  days. 


{15} 


DR.  WILLIAM  FRANCIS  LINEHAN 

For  his  sincere  interest  in  us  and  our  work,  for  his  wise  counsel 
and  friendly  cooperation,  we  are  deeply  grateful  to  our  Dean, 
Dr.  Linehan.

MISS  MARGARET  MARY  SALLAWAY 

We  shall  remember  Miss  Sallaway,  our  Adviser,  for  her  dignity 
and  gracious  charm,  for  her  unfailing  sympathy  and  encourage- 
ment, and  for  the  friendly  helpfulness  she  has  given  us  during  our 
college  years.

FORMER  FACULTY  MEMBERS 


The  Class  of  1940  dedicates  this  page  of  the  Lampas  to  the  members  of  the  faculty 
who  have  this  year  left  the  college  to  take  up  new  lines  of  work  in  the  Boston 
school  system.  Their  inspiration  still  lives  among  us,  and  they  will  ever  remain 
in  our  memories  as  teachers  and  friends  of  our  college  days. 

Our  loss  of  Dr.  Kerrigan  has  been  the  gain  of  the  Dorchester  High  School  for 
Girls,  and  we  are  confident  that  as  Head  of  the  Department  of  Science  there  she 
will  be  respected  and  admired  as  she  was  here. 

We  congratulate  the  Department  of  Elementary  Supervision  on  the  apointment 
of  Miss  Keyes  and  Miss  Wilkinson.  Miss  Keyes's  position  in  the  Health  Educa- 
tion Department  brought  her  into  contact  with  every  student  in  the  college,  and 
she  endeared  herself  to  all.  The  able  and  conscientious  work  of  Miss  Wilkinson 
in  the  Reading  Center  won  the  commendation  of  everyone  who  knew  of  these 
classes. 

We  have  missed  this  year  the  friendly  presence  of  Miss  Stack  and  Miss  Cobin 
in  the  Art  Department.  Miss  Stack  is  now  devoting  all  her  time  to  her  supervisory 
duties,  but  we  hope  that  in  the  future  she  may  resume  her  work  in  the  Teachers 
College.  To  Mrs.  Saul  Dopkeen  (Miss  Cobin),  whose  helpful  cooperation  was 
unfailing,  we  wish  all  happiness  in  her  marriage. 

Mr.  Hennessey  has  been  appointed  Supervisor  of  the  Department  of  Visual 
Education.  We  extend  to  him  our  congratulations  and  our  best  wishes  for  con- 
tinued success  in  this  line  of  work,  which  he  inaugurated  in  the  Teachers  College. 

We  have  all  missed  this  year  the  genial  spirit  of  Mr.  Quinn,  but  we  are  glad  that 
as  Head  of  the  Department  of  Science  at  the  Public  Latin  School  he  will  still 
teach  the  subject  he  loves. 

To  all  of  these  instructors  we  say,  "Ave  atque  Vale!"

CLASSES 


TO  OUR  PARENTS 

V/I70RDS  are  inadequate  to  express  our 
tribute  to  our  parents.  We  offer 
them  love,  gratitude,  esteem,  devotion. 
We  dedicate  to  them  our  hopes,  our  visions, 
our  ideals,  for  all  the  happiness  and  success 
of  our  college  years  are  ours  because  of  the 
love  and  devotion  of  our  parents.  We  pray 
that  they,  each  and  every  dearly-loved  one 
of  them,  may  enjoy  to  the  last  full  measure 
the  joy  that  comes  from  the  realization  of  a 
dream.  May  our  future  achievements  be 
worthy  of  their  faith  and  trust!

'O  young  Mariner, 
Down  to  the  haven, 
Call  your  companions,

Over  the  margin.

EVELYN  JANE  ABDALAH 

"Let  us  do  our  work  as  well, 
Both  the  unseen  and  the  seen." 

Evelyn  is  one  of  those  girls  who  possess  the  funda- 
mental essentials  for  true  and  lasting  friendship.  She 
is  the  type  of  person  to  whom  one  turns  for  help  when 
troubled  over  coming  exams  or  other  difficulties.  She 
is  a  serious  student,  anxious  to  do  well  in  her  chosen 
field  and  willing  to  work  hard  to  attain  desired  success. 
Her  sympathetic  understanding,  cheerful  optimism , 
and  frank  common  sense  will  be  valuable  assets  in 
her  career  as  a  teacher.

JOAN  DOROTHY  ADLER 

"A  cheerful  mood, 
A  pleasant  smile, 
A  winning  wit 
Our  hearts  beguile." 

Whom  do  we  all  envy  because  of  her  beautiful  brown, 
curly  hair  and  laughing  eyes?  Who  greets  us  each 
day  with  a  face  shining  with  health  and  happiness? 
Joan,  of  course!  We  have  never  seen  Joan  when  she 
has  not  been  in  a  cheerful  mood,  and  we  are  sure  we 
never  shall.  In  addition  to  her  pleasant  disposition, 
Joan  has  an  amazing  energy  which  she  applies  to  any 
and  all  of  the  college  activities  with  equal  success. 
All  her  classmates  agree  that  she  is  a  worthwhile 
friend  and  a  pleasant  comrade.

MILDRED  LOUISE  ALCOTT 

"And  seldom  in  hall  or  court  are  seen 
So  queenly  a  form  and  so  noble  a  mien." 

In  her  warm  brown  eyes  one  sees  the  reflection  of 
Millie's  poise  and  serenity.  These  are  the  qualities 
which,  together  with  her  competence  and  sense  of 
responsibility,  have  brought  her  success  in  the  many 
offices  she  has  held.  Then,  too,  she  has  a  friendly 
charm  that  has  made  hei  a  vital  part  of  all  our  proms 
and  other  social  activities.  She  can  always  be  de- 
pended upon  to  support  with  enthusiasm  the  plans  of 
her  co-workers.  Best  wishes  for  success  to  a  charm- 
ing girl  who  deserves  to  attain  her  desired  goal!

ELAINE  HARRIET  BARKIN 

"In  thy  dark  eyes'  splendor, 
Where  the  warm  light  loves  to  dwell" 

"What  was  that?"  A  lovely  head  is  tilted  in  a  ques- 
tioning attitude,  dark  brows  contract  in  a  thoughtful 
frown,  and  Elaine  is  in  pursuit  of  some  elusive  bit  of 
information.  Keen  observation  and  careful  regard 
for  detail  have  brought  Elaine  enviable  success,  not 
only  as  a  student  but  also  as  Business  Manager  of 
our  Lampas.  Her  efficiency  might  awe  us  if  it  were 
not  coupled  with  unruffled  good-nature  and  warm 
friendliness.  Elaine  is  one  of  those  fortunate  girls 
who  are  endowed  not  only  with  the  qualities  necessary 
for  successful  scholarship,  but  also  with  those  that 
make  her  a  pleasant  companion  and  friend.

MARGUERITE  PIERCE  BARRY 

Naive  prettiness, 
Demure  charm. 
Lovable  Peg! 

The  possessor  of  a  perfect  disposition,  Peg  has  won 
the  hearts  of  the  entire  class.  Her  natural  sweetness 
blended  with  her  womanly  charm  makes  her  popu- 
larity universal.  Whether  as  a  teacher,  a  student, 
or  a  classmate  Peg's  pleasing  personality  is  enjoyed 
by  everyone.  Her  gay  laughter  and  her  two  pretty 
dimples  lightened  many  a  serious  gathering;  her  wil- 
lingness to  help  aided  many  a  social  activity.  For 
sunny  hours  of  fun  and  frolic,  for  enjoyable  hours  of 
work  and  study.  Marguerite  has  proved  herself  to 
be  a  valuable  member  of  our  class.

NAOMI  BAZOL 

"Heeding  truth  alone,  and  turning 
From  the  false  and  dim" 

If  you  were  to  name  qualities  that  would  assure  suc- 
cess in  life,  you  would  probably  mention  a  high 
idealism,  a  determination  to  win,  and  a  keen  sense 
of  humor.  Now,  for  such  a  combination,  you  need 
look  no  farther  than  our  Naomi.  One  has  only  to 
see  her  directing  the  work  of  youngsters  in  camp, 
at  a  neighborhood  center,  or  in  the  classroom,  to 
recognize  her  unusual  ability.  She  has  still  another 
quality  requisite  for  success — a  capacity  for  true  and 
lasting  friendship.

DOROTHY  KATHERINE  BECKER 

"  Her  words  are  clad  with  wisdom's  majesty; 
Her  words  do  show  her  wit  incomparable." 

As  an  antidote  to  cynicism  we  prescribe  Dorothy. 
Her  absolute  sincerity,  her  appreciation  of  the  best 
in  everyone,  her  warm  sympathy  and  cheery  wit 
combine  to  banish  gloom.  Dot  is  the  Good  Samaritan 
of  our  class,  ever  ready  to  help  anyone  in  distress. 
Her  sparkling  sense  of  humor  is  shown  by  her  clever 
witticisms  and  amusing  couplets.  This  humor  is  the 
leaven  of  a  rich,  busy  life.  A  wide  range  of  interests 
and  an  unusual  versatility  result  in  making  Dot 
simultaneously  a  clever  dressmaker,  a  sports-lover,  a 
voracious  reader,  an  entertaining  poet,  a  successful 
student,  and  an  excellent  librarian.

AGATHINA  LUCY  di  BELLA 

"Smile  awhile;  and  while  you  smile 
Another  smiles,  and  soon 
There's  miles  and  miles  oj  smiles, 
And  life's  worth  while  because  you  smile." 

Tina  is  one  of  those  rare  and  fortunate  individuals 
endowed  with  the  gift  of  doing  everything  well. 
Whether  it  is  as  an  efficient  editor  of  the  Spotlight, 
as  a  serious  dramatic  actress  in  Mary  of  Scotland,  or 
as  a  demure  cherub  in  the  Art  Pageant,  Tina  plays 
her  part  with  honors.  Her  more  serious  qualities  of 
steadfastness,  perseverance,  and  good  common  sense 
are  balanced  by  her  effervescent  humor.  The  spark- 
ling vivacity  that  brightens  all  her  tasks  makes  her 
a  co-worker  as  pleasant  as  she  is  competent.  Tina 
will  undoubtedly  find  the  road  to  success  and  travel 
on  it  continually  throughout  life.

LOUISE  CECILE  BURKE 

"A  violet  by  a  mossy  stone, 
Half-hidden  from  the  eye, 
Fair  as  a  star  when  only  one 
Is  shining  in  the  sky" 

When  Wordsworth  was  writing  these  lines,  he  might 
well  have  had  Louise  as  his  inspiration .  The  modest 
unassuming  nature  which  endeared  her  to  us  in  Fresh- 
man days  has  developed  into  a  sedate,  serene  charm 
which  we  all  admire.  Louise  is  ever  willing  to  assist 
in  both  studies  and  extra-curricular  activities,  and 
her  skill  as  a  pianist  has  aided  many  a  class  event  or 
assembly  announcement.  We  all  envy  Louise  her 
untiring  perseverance,  which  is  bound  to  make  her 
truly  successful.

DOROTHEA  THERESE  CALLAHAN 

"From  you,  lanthe,  little  troubles  pass 
Like  little  ripples  down  a  sunny  river." 

Dorothea's  dimpling  smile  and  hearty  laugh  are  the 
expression  of  her  sunny  disposition.  In  fact,  her  in- 
fectious laugh  was  so  highly  appreciated  when  Dot 
played  the  role  of  the  hyena  at  our  annual  Christmas 
party  that  she  was  called  upon  for  a  return  engage- 
ment the  following  year,  much  to  the  delight  of  both 
adult  and  juvenile  members  of  the  audience.  In  ad- 
dition to  her  cheerfulness,  Dorothea  possesses  those 
sterling  qualities  of  eagerness  to  help  and  a  coopera- 
tive spirit  in  any  situation.  We  shall  always  re- 
member her  as  a  steadfast  worker  for  the  Class  of  1940 
and  for  the  Teachers  College.

BLANCHE  MADELINE  CAMIA 

"About  binomial  theorems 
I'm  teeming  with  a  lot  o'  news — 
With  many  cheerful  facts  about 
The  square  of  the  hypothenuse." 

Do  you  remember  when  Blanche  broke  our  hearts 
as  the  handsome,  dashing  Earl  of  Bothwell?  But  it 
is  not  only  in  dramatics  that  Blanche  is  at  her  best; 
she  excels  in  sports  as  well.  We  shall  always  remem- 
ber her  as  one  of  the  most  valuable  members  of  the 
basketball  team  and  as  the  best  punter  in  our  gym 
games.  Blanche's  outside  activities  have  not  inter- 
fered with  her  college  work,  for  she  is  a  fine  student, 
especially  in  mathematics  and  art.  Her  keen  sense 
of  humor  and  her  ever-helping  hand  contribute  to 
her  popularity.

EVALYN  VICTORY  CHANNEN 

"Then  doth  thy  sweet  and  quiet  eye 
Look  through  its  fringes  to  the  sky, 
Blue — blue — as  if  that  sky  let  fall 
A  flower  from  its  cerulean  wall." 

Even  as  a  first-year  student,  fresh  from  the  College 
Board  exams,  Evalyn  was  a  model  of  poise  and 
capability.  From  the  day  she  entered  college,  she 
took  her  place  as  one  of  the  most  interesting  personali- 
ties of  our  class.  Extremely  well-read,  very  clever 
with  pencil  or  paint  brush,  and  an  intelligent,  witty 
conversationalist,  she  excels  in  anything  to  which 
she  turns  her  talents.  Possessed  of  decided  originality, 
a  facile,  vivid  style  of  writing,  and  a  wealth  of  ma- 
terial, Evalyn  is  the  girl  most  likely  one  day  to  repre- 
sent the  Class  of  1940  on  the  Best  Seller  List.

MARGARET  WINIFRED  CONNELLY 

"In  youth  the  heart  exults  and  sings, 
The  pulses  leap,  the  feet  have  wings. 

A  slow,  sweet  smile,  a  flash  of  white  shining  teeth,  a 
hearty,  happy  laugh!  There  you  have  Peg!  We  are 
sure  that  she  has  thoroughly  enjoyed  her  college  days, 
because  she  has  found  the  secret  of  blending  study 
and  social  activities  in  just  the  right  proportion. 
When  not  engaged  in  study.  Peg  spends  much  of  her 
time  in  active  sports,  particularly  roller-skating  in 
which  she  excels.  We  must  mention  also  her  taste 
for  music  and  her  interest  in  the  classics  to  give  you 
a  correct  idea  of  Peg's  versatility.

HELEN  FRANCES  CURLEY 

"  'Tis  good  to  be  merrie  and  wisel" 

Whatever  Helen  sets  out  to  do  she  will  inevitably 
accomplish,  for  she  possesses  the  full  measure  of 
steadiness  and  constant  persistence — qualities  which 
are  requisite  for  success.  Her  efficient  work  as  a 
councillor  is  a  proof  of  her  diligent,  enthusiastic  ap- 
plication to  club  and  class  activities.  This  is  but  one 
phase  of  her  well-rounded  personality.  Helen's  love 
of  fun  has  made  her  a  popular  participant  in  all  class 
dances.  Her  willingness  to  help  others  shows  her  to 
be  a  sincere,  unselfish  friend.  Helen's  charming  man- 
ner and  true  comradeship  will  never  be  forgotten.

LORETTA  WILFREDA  CURRAN 

"Be  gone,  dull  care! 
Thou  and  I  shall  never  agree." 

At  one  moment  Loretta  is  quiet,  calm,  and  serious; 
then  with  a  lift  of  an  ej'ebrow  and  a  gay  smile  she 
becomes  the  girl  who  keeps  us  always  laughing.  Her 
witty  ditties  have  livened  many  a  free  hour,  and 
when  Loretta  laughs  in  her  own  happy  way  it's  im- 
possible to  keep  a  straight  face.  An  energetic  worker, 
always  ready  to  cooperate,  Loretta  is  a  joy  to  any 
committee  chairman.  Tolerant,  broad-minded,  and 
fair,  she  is  one  of  the  most  loyal  friends  we  could 
desire.

And  the  lily  of  the  day, 
Fairy  belle,  the  queen  of  the  dell, 
Long  may  she  revel  in  her  bright,  sunny  way." 

The  teaching  profession  was  fortunate  to  attract  Ann 
from  other  fields  to  which  her  varied  talents  might 
have  taken  her.  Dancing  is  her  first  love,  and  those 
of  us  who  saw  her  in  Evangeline  can  appreciate  her 
inspiring  performance.  Her  art  work  can  usually  be 
seen  adorning  the  walls  of  our  corridors,  and  her 
histrionic  ability  was  evidenced  when  she  played  the 
despicable  James  Stuart  in  our  history-making  presen- 
tation, Alary  of  Scotland.  Add  to  these  talents  a 
flair  for  cooking  and  a  gift  for  making  and  holding 
friends,  and  you  have  Ann.  Fate  has  stacked  the 
cards  so  that  Ann  is  bound  to  win  success  in  more  than 
one  field.

"Music  as  sweet  as  the  music 
Which  seems 

Breathed  softly  and  faint  in  the 
Ear  of  our  dreams." 

Mary  to  us  means  Music,  for  she  excels  in  that  branch 
of  the  Fine  Arts.  She  not  only  plays  the  violin 
beautifully  but  is  a  capable  pianist  as  well.  Last 
but  not  least,  she  has  a  lovely  singing  voice  which 
has  added  much  to  Music  Club  activities.  Another 
of  Mary's  talents  is  her  abilit}'  to  gain  fiiends.  Her 
personality,  quiet  and  refined,  has  a  charm  which  is 
as  unpretentious  as  it  is  irresistible.  Mary,  by  her 
nature  as  well  as  by  her  music,  has  brought  harmony 
into  our  college  years.

ANNA  TERESA  DOWD 

"A  roguish  smile,  a  merry  jest, 
A  depth  of  heart  you'd  never  guess." 

Since  our  freshman  year  Anna  has  played  an  im- 
portant part  in  making  our  college  activities  success- 
ful. She  has  that  rare  combination  of  extreme  effi- 
ciency and  lovely  graciousness  which  makes  her  a 
valuable  committee  member.  Like  most  active  stu- 
dents, Anna  shines  in  all  her  classes  as  well  as  at 
social  affairs.  Her  wholesome  sense  of  humor,  her 
desiie  for  fair  play,  her  sincere  friendliness,  and  her 
love  of  fun  are  but  a  few  of  the  reasons  for  her  popu- 
larity. Because  she  is  such  a  lovable  girl,  we  are  sure 
that  our  wish  for  her  success  will  come  true.

"  You  forget  my  special  magic, 
In  a  higli  dramatic  sense.

Undeniably  intense." 

A  born  leader  and  director,  tall,  poised,  and  self-

members  of  our  class.  Her  individual  and  ver\-  at-

an  unusual  personality.  Virginia's  dramatic  abilit\', 
as  displayed  by  her  portrayal  of  Mary,  Queen  of 
Scots,  is  only  one  of  her  outstanding  talents.  A 
string  desire  to  travel  to  mysterious  and  unfrequented 
parts  of  the  world,  a  decided  penchant  for  the  read- 
ing of  biographies,  and  an  enthusiasm  for  music, 
classical  as  well  as  popular,  are  but  a  few  of  the  in- 
terests of  this  universally  popular  classmate.

"A  countermine  in  which  did  meet 
Sweet  records,  promises  as  suect" 

Naturalness  is  the  keynote  of  Peggy's  very  attractive 
personality.  Quite  the  mistress  of  any  situation,  she 
is  remarkable  for  her  poise,  her  crisp  cool  manner, 
and  her  sincerity.  The  Fine  Arts  claim  her  special 
attention;  she  delights  in  beaut>'  whether  it  be  of 
handwork  or  of  music.  Like  all  well-rounded  people, 
she  is  gay  and  fun-loving,  quick  to  appreciate  humor 
and  to  join  in  a  good  time.  We  are  sure  that  life  will 
never  become  a  perplexing  problem  for  Peggy,  since 
nothing  can  ruffle  her  cool  composure.

Whenever  geography  or  anything  relating  to  natural

terest in  Eleanor's  dark  eyes.  History  in  any  phase, 
be  it  in  a  textbook,  a  newspaper,  or  the  latest  novel, 
also  awakens  her  ardent  enthusiasm.  In  her  more 
frivolous  moments  she  likes  nothing  better  than  to 
listen  to  the  latest  phonograph  selections,  especially 
if  Artie  Shaw  wields  the  baton.  In  our  years  together 
we  have  found  Eleanor  to  be  a  girl  of  wide  interests, 
keen  mind,  and  an  engaging  personality.

well  as  exceptional  musical  power?  Charlotte,  again. 
Not  only  did  she  receive  honor  grades  consistently, 
but  she  was  one  of  the  most  dependable  and  capable

In  an  era  of  athletic  college  girls  who  often  can  show 
their  brothers  how  to  shoot  a  basketball  or  hit  a

girl  who  makes  no  claim  to  prowess  in  masculine 
fields  of  endeavor.  But  despite  her  utter  femininity, 
Rita  is  not  the  "clinging-vine"  type.  She  has  a 
wealth  of  common  sense,  a  strength  of  determination, 
and  sound  reasoning  powers  that  make  her  a  valuable

is  as  appealingly  attractive  as  a  dainty  piece  of

she  is  verj'  feminine.  Her  unassuming  manner,  her 
unfailing  courtesy,  and  the  even  tenor  of  her  tem- 
perament win  for  her  many  friends.  Her  loyal,  effi-

frankness,  her  enthusiastic  approval  of  things  modern,

of  teaching  well.  Some  kindergarten  will  be  richer

' '  Her  air  has  a  meaning,  her  movements  a  grace,

Esther  is  a  diminutive,  dark-eyed,  elfin  girl.  Zeal 
and  industry  keep  her  at  her  books,  and  quietly  and 
independently  she  goes  about  gathering  bits  of  in- 
formation which  later  add  much  to  our  class  discus- 
sions. Yet  she  cannot  be  said  to  be  merely  "bookish." 
Sometimes  she  will  suddenly  change  into  the  spirit  of 
youth  itself  and  become,  like  Peter  Pan,  an  irresis-

' '  Who  in  the  song  so  sweet? 
Who  in  the  dance  so  fleet?" 

You  may  have  been  impressed  by  her  poise  and  deb- 
onair charm  at  the  Junior  Prom  or  by  her  active 
enthusiasm  at  the  A.  A.  Meet,  but  you  will  alwa3-s 
remember  the  gay,  contagious  laughter  which  bright- 
ens every  gathering  of  which  she  is  a  part.  She  is 
noted,  too,  for  her  attractive  appearance  which  we 
all  admire;  she  is  tall  and  slim,  with  lovely  brown 
eyes,  and  a  pretty  coiffure.  Everyone  speaks  well  of 
Dot,  and  such  unanimous  praise  is  a  compliment  in- 
deed.

ELSE  JENNIE  JUNKER 

What  made  th'  assembly  shine? 
What  made  the  ball  so  fine? 
Else  was  there! 

Of  all  the  adjectives  which  could  be  used  to  describe 
Else,  graceful  seems  the  most  appropriate.  Her  car- 
riage, erect  and  poised,  and  her  manner,  courteous, 
efficient,  and  gracious,  made  her  the  natural  choice 
of  the  student  body  when  the  office  of  President  of 
the  Self-Government  Association  was  to  be  filled. 
Else  has  many  talents  besides  leadership.  She  is  a 
fine  skater,  a  dancer  of  unusual  grace,  and  an  artist 
as  well.  With  such  a  variety  of  gifts  it  is  not  sur- 
prising that  she  has  won  great  popularity  among  her 
classmates.  We  consider  Else  a  worthy  representa- 
tive of  our  class,  and  we  are  sure  that  she  will  always 
maintain  the  highest  standards  of  the  college.

EDNA  MAY  KAHN 

"This  world  is  not  so  bad  a  world 
As  some  would  like  to  make  it; 
Though  whether  good,  or  whether  bad. 
Depends  on  how  we  lake  it." 

Life  for  Edna  will  never  be  dull,  for  her  irrepressible 
sense  of  humor  comes  to  the  fore  on  every  occasion. 
Many  a  class  has  been  brightened  by  her  impulsive, 
naive  responses.  Another  source  of  delight  to  us  has 
been  Edna's  lovely  clothes  and  unique  jewelry.  She 
has  the  knack  of  choosing  clothes  that  are  different 
enough  to  be  individual,  but  simple  enough  to  be 
conservative.  One  of  the  pleasantest  girls  in  our 
class,  Edna  has  earned  the  title  of  class  optimist.

MILDRED  ELEANOR  KATZ 

"The  tripping  measure  in  her  dance 
The  friendly  pleasure  in  her  glance, 
Are  our  deught." 

"Hold  it!"  Millie  is  taking  another  picture!  In 
addition  to  being  an  enthusiastic  camera  fan,  Millie 
is  an  expert  in  the  latest  dance  steps,  a  skilful  knitter, 
an  ardent  reader  of  all  the  best  sellers,  and  a  veritable 
mine  of  information  about  the  movie  and  stage  stars. 
In  spite  of  her  many  outside  interests,  Millie's  college 
work  has  not  suffered  in  the  least.  In  every  one  of 
her  activities,  whether  it  is  the  performance  of  some 
important  class  duty  or  the  creation  of  a  new  coififure 
for  a  classmate,  Millie  maintains  the  serenity  and 
charm  which  have  added  so  much  to  our  enjoyment 
of  her  company.

GLADYS  JESSIE  LYDIA  KLINE 

"A  maiden  fair  to  see, 
The  pearl  of  minstrelsy, 
A  bud  of  blushing  beauty." 

Gladys  has  for  these  four  years  quietly  and  efficiently 
pursued  her  way  toward  a  very  promising  career. 
Her  curly  red  hair,  perfect  posture,  and  faultless 
grooming  are  characteristics  which  distinguish  an  out- 
standing member  of  our  class.  She  has  been  per- 
severing in  studies  as  well  as  in  club  activities.  The 
Welfare  and  Classical  Clubs  have  both  profited  by 
her  assiduous  work  in  their  behalf.  We  consider  it

So  soft,  so  calm,  yet  eloquent, 
The  smites  that  win,  the  tints  that  glow. 
But  tell  of  days  in  goodness  spent." 

Unobtrusive,  sh>-,  serious  of  purpose,  Isabelle  has 
quietly  but  surely  attained  success  in  her  work  at 
college.  Extra-curricular  activities  have  also  claimed 
her  attention.  She  has  taken  advantage  of  the  many 
opportunities  offered  and  is  an  active  member  of 
several  clubs.  Her  soft  brown  eyes  mirror  her  quiet, 
gentle  nature,  and  her  sweet  smile  bespeaks  her 
ready  sympathy.  By  penetrating  her  reserve,  one 
is  rewarded  with  a  friendship  that  is  loyal  and  sincere.

Capable  and  energetic,  she  has  achieved  an  enviable

is  her  secret?  Dark  e\'es,  dimples,  a  happy  laugh, 
and  enviable  poise  make  part  of  the  answer.  A  great 
deal  of  Merle's  attraction  also  lies  in  her  ability  to 
make  friends  and  to  hold  them.  Some  of  us  like 
Merle  for  her  sincerity-,  some  for  her  friendliness, 
others  for  her  humor,  and  still  others  for  her  loyalty. 
Most  of  us  like  her  because  she  is  a  happy  combina-

greater  to  her  friends,  who  know  her  warm-hearted 
loyalty  and  her  deep  sincerity.  Millie  appreciates 
the  finer  things  in  life, — art,  literature,  drama,  and, 
most  of  all,  music.  These  varied  interests,  combined 
with  a  keen,  alert  mind,  make  her  personality  in-

her  for  her  friendliness  and  admire  her  for  her  high

is  supplemented  by  an  ability  to  work  willingly  and

fine  record  as  Vice-President  of  the  Welfare  Club.

smile,  and  a  spirit  of  camaraderie, — these  are  Lucille's 
charms.  She  well  deserves  the  honors  her  talents 
have  already  received,  and  she  will  go  on,  we  are  sure, 
gathering  many  more  laurels.

ESTHER  MARIE  NUGENT 

"A  face  with  gladness  overspread, 
Soft  smites  by  human  kindness  bred." 

Esther  is  an  exceptional  person  who  has  extensive 
rather  than  intensive  tastes.  She  has  no  passionate 
attachment  for  any  one  activity  but  a  wholesome  en- 
joyment of  many.  She  can  as  readily  enjoy  wielding 
a  tennis  racket  as  listening  to  symphonic  music. 
Esther  is  meticulous  about  her  appearance.  She  has 
our  endorsement  as  one  of  the  best-groomed  girls  in 
the  class.  She  is  blessed  with  all  the  qualities  that 
kindle  true  friendship.  Her  sincerity,  kindness,  and 
consideration  make  hers  an  admirable  personality.

CLAIRE  HELEN  O'BRIEN 

"A  friendly  girl  with  manners  sweet, 
The  kind  of  girl  you  like  to  meet." 

Quick,  efficient,  thorough,  intelligent, — all  of  these  words 
could  be  used  to  describe  Claire.  Witness  her  fine 
contribution  to  the  success  of  the  Classical  Club. 
The  Athletic  Association  also  will  remember  her  as  an 
eager  and  enthusiastic  member.  Like  good  silver, 
Claire  has  sterling  qualities  which  have  been  tried, 
tested,  and  found  true.  Pleasantly  serene,  she  solves 
her  problems  logically,  capably,  and  quietly.  A  will- 
ing worker  and  a  fine  leader,  Claire  has  the  essential 
characteristics  for  a  successful  future.

ANNABELLE  CATHERINE  O'CONNOR 

"Haste  thee,  Nymph,  and  bring  with  thee 
Jest  and  youthful  jollity." 

Are  you  looking  for  Annabelle?  Why  don't  you  try 
the  art  room?  She  may  have  lured  a  willing  friend  in 
to  have  her  portrait  painted.  Or  perhaps  she  is 
sketching  some  unsuspecting  students  as  they  read 
or  study  in  Collins  Hall.  If  peals  of  laughter  resound 
from  any  room,  Annabelle  will  be  there.  If  there  is 
excitement  in  the  gym,  she  is  probably  in  the  midst 
of  a  lively  game.  Perhaps  she  isn't  in  the  building. 
Then  you  should  try  the  theater  ticket  ofiices,  es- 
pecially if  Maurice  Evans  is  in  town.  Wherever  you 
find  Annabelle,  you  will  be  sure  to  receive  the  pleasant 
smile  and  cheerful  greeting  that  have  brightened  many 
a  classroom  or  club  meeting.

' '  Her  hair  like  the  I  histledown  is  borne 
on  the  air, 
And  her  heart,  like  the  htimming  birds', 
is  free  from  every  care." 

Ruthie,  petite  and  curly-haired,  will  always  be  re- 
membered for  her  sweet,  quiet  friendliness,  her  chic 
hats,  and  her  gorgeous  Florida  sun-burn  in  March. 
She  is  one  of  those  serene  persons  who  meet  life  with 
a  smile  and  help  others  to  smile  at  life,  too.  Always 
well-groomed,  Ruth  looks  as  if  she  had  just  stepped 
out  of  a  band  box  labeled  "Paris."  Perhaps  that  is 
why  she  speaks  French  so  fluently  and  is  such  a  joy- 
to  the  French  Club.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  see  Ruthie 
and  a  far  greater  pleasure  to  know  her.

JULIA  MARGARET  PEZZUOLO 

"0  Julia,  O  Julia  fair, 
With  brow  of  snow." 

Her  gentle  voice  and  quiet  demeanor  have  led  many 
of  Julia's  classmates  to  think  of  her  as  shy  and  ever- 
serious.  This  idea  is  quickly  dispelled,  however,  when 
a  smiling  flash  of  Julia's  dark  eyes  gives  us  a  glimpse 
of  the  fun-loving  spirit  that  supplements  her  serious- 
ness. We  all  know  Julia  as  a  conscientious  worker,  a 
successful  student,  and  a  sincere  friend.  Gaiety  and 
seriousness  mingle  to  give  us  a  pleasant  companion 
with  whom  we  have  enjoyed  studying.

"  Hadsl  thou  lived  in  days  of  old, 
0  what  wonders  had  been  told 
Of  thy  lively  countenance, 
Of  thy  lovely  eyes  that  dance!" 

What  is  it  about  Connie  which  everyone  finds  so  at-

poise,  her  gracious  manner?  Is  it  her  sympathetic 
nature,  her  high  ideals,  or  her  conscientious  work 
which  is  so  appealing?  Perhaps  the  fact  that  Connie 
combines  all  of  these  qualities  accounts  for  the  popu-

Thoroughly  dependable  and  sincerely  interested  in

CLARINA  ANTOINETTE  RUSSO 

"Her  eyes  as  stars  of  twilight  fair.

Efficient — capable — competent.  These  are  the  adjec- 
tives which  best  describe  Clarina,  as  is  clearly  shown 
by  her  work,  which  is  an  inspiration  to  her  classmates. 
Willingness  to  spend  the  time  and  energy  necessary 
to  complete  any  worth-while  task  is  the  secret  of  her 
success.  Scholastic  achievement  is  not  the  only  field 
of  endeavor  in  which  Clarina  excels.  Her  kind,  sin-

ELEANOR  PEARL  SALE 

"She  golfs,  she  punts,  she  rows,  she  swims. 
She  plays,  she  sings,  she  dances,  loo!" 

Ellie  is  gifted  with  an  extremely  keen  sense  of  humor 
and  a  very  lucid  mind.  No  matter  what  the  discus- 
sion, Eleanor  can  be  depended  upon  to  come  through

and  the  serious  with  very  pleasing  results.  And  do

Lady  Angela  in  Patience  Like  Isolde  of  legendary

"And  like  music  on  the  waters

Mary's  personality  is  a  delightful  combination  of  the 
practical  and  the  artistic.  Her  dependability  and

in  her  a  capable  teacher  and  a  sympathetic  friend.

SHIRLEY  ELAINE  SARGENT 

"She  was  good  as  she  was  fair, 
None — none  on  earth  above  her! 
As  pure  in  thought  as  angels  are: 
To  know  her  was  to  love  her." 

Much  can  be  said  of  Shirley's  high  scholastic  record, 
her  friendliness,  and  her  loyalty.  But  important  as 
these  qualities  are,  her  appealing  personality  is  based 
upon  something  deeper  than  these.  The  slightest  ac- 
quaintance with  Shirley  reveals  the  high  idealism 
which  directs  all  her  actions.  Her  unfailing  courtesy, 
cheerful  manner,  and  sympathetic  nature  are  the  re- 
sults of  the  highest  possible  standards.  The  fineness 
of  Shirley's  character  is  reflected  in  her  avocations, 
literature  and  music,  in  both  of  which  her  taste  is  ex- 
cellent. We  consider  our  friendship  with  Shirley  to 
be  one  of  the  most  valuable  gifts  of  our  college  years.

After  four  years  of  association  with  Mildred,  we  are

Her  dancing  has  enriched  many  a  class  production ; 
her  violin  has  charmed  many  a  college  gathering. 
Not  the  least  of  her  many  accomplishments  is  her 
artistic  talent  which  has  brought  us  countless  posters 
that  we  have  admired  and,  perhaps,  envied.  Yet 
with  all  her  undeniable  talent,  Mildred  has  remained 
a  quiet,  unassuming  member  of  our  class,  content  to 
let  her  successes  speak  for  themselves.  We  can  say

Five-foot-five  of  graceful  charm,  good  humor,  and 
sympathetic  understanding, — that's  Mary.  Her 
ability  to  "wear"  clothes,  and  her  unusual  taste  make 
her  a  model  for  what  the  well-dressed  college  girl  is 
wearing.  Having  a  faculty  for  giving  quick,  appro- 
priate rejoinders  to  whatever  is  being  said,  Mary  is 
a  definite  asset  to  any  conversation.  Though  usually- 
gay,  Mary  has  another  side — serious,  quiet,  and  sin- 
cere. In  a  discussion  of  the  latest  literary  works,  her 
up-to-date  knowledge  of  books  is  apparent.  Socially 
and  academically  Mary  should  go  far.

SELMA  YOUNIS 

"Braid  the  raven  hair, 
Weave  the  supple  tress — 
Deck  the  maiden  fair, 
In  her  loveliness." 

Originality  is  the  keynote  of  Selma's  personality. 
Out  of  a  piece  of  crepe  paper  she  forms  a  doll,  a 
flower,  or  some  party  favor.  Vivacious,  sparkling, 
and  exhilarating,  she  typifies  the  gypsy  personality. 
Practical  as  well  as  artistic,  Selma  certainly  filled  the 
coffers  of  the  class  treasury.  Hence  she  is  our  nominee 
for  the  first  woman  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  at 
Washington.  Selma's  efficiency  in  handling  money 
finds  its  counterpart  in  her  ability  to  handle  a  basket- 
ball. Her  interest  in  athletics,  drama,  art,  and  other 
fields  has  made  her  a  stimulating  and  interesting 
companion.

ALMA  MATER 

When  we  came,  Alma  Mater,  to  thee  in  our  youth, 
When  we  lifted  our  eyes,  full  of  trust,  to  thy  face. 
When  we  felt  there  thy  spirit,  and  saw  there  thy  grace, 
We  desired  then  thy  wisdom,  we  longed  for  thy  truth. 

As  the  years  have  flown  by  with  their  toil  and  their  joy, 
Thou  hast  quickened  our  ears,  thou  hast  opened  our  eyes, 
Till  the  hill  and  the  plain,  till  the  seas  and  the  skies. 
Are  all  throbbing  with  beauty  no  hand  can  destroy. 

Thou  hast  shown  us  the  world  with  its  splendor  and  might. 
Its  desire  and  its  need  thou  hast  given  us  to  see; 
Mother,  grant  us  thy  passion  for  service  that  we 
May  lead  youth  with  its  ardor  to  seek  for  the  light.

"How  beautiful  is  youth!  how  bright  it  gleams 
With  its  illusions,  aspirations,  dreams! 
Book  of  Beginnings,  Story  without  End, 
Each  maid  a  heroine  and  each  man  a  friend! 
All  possibilities  are  in  its  hands, 
No  danger  daunts  it,  and  no  foe  withstands; 
In  its  sublime  audacity  of  faith 
'Be  thou  removed!'  it  to  the  mountain  saith; 
And  with  ambitious  feet,  secure  and  proud, 
Ascends  the  ladder  leaning  on  the  cloud!"

CLASS  POEM 


JOURNEY'S  BEGINNING 

Today  we  come  to  journey's  end; 
We've  reached  the  goal  we  longed  to  win. 
But  lo!    A  bright  torch  gleams  ahead 
Where  new  roads  lead,  new  tasks  begin. 

Loud  trumpet  calls  of  life  inspire, 
We'll  follow  bravely,  vanquish  fears. 
The  challenge  of  the  path  before  us 
We'll  meet  with  courage  through  the  years. 

The  way  that  we  have  trod  till  now 
Was  eased  by  Guidance,  lit  by  Truth. 
Wise  Knowledge  calmed  our  childish  fears, 
While  sage  Experience  spared  our  Youth. 

Ideals  of  duty  we've  been  given, 
And  taught  that  we  must  heed  Life's  call. 
Devoted  to  the  noble  motto, 
"Service  to  others,  Love  for  all." 

Go  forth  and  teach, — guide  youthful  footsteps 

To  mountain  tops  of  radiant  light; 

Fulfil  the  mission  thus  intrusted. 

And  keep  the  torch  of  knowledge  bright. 

Journeys  end  in  new  beginnings. 
Unfurl  the  banners,  start  today 
To  face  the  future  bravely,  nobly, 
And  trust  that  God  will  bless  the  way. 

Virginia  C.  Noonan

CLASS  HISTORY 

A  Fantasy 

High  above  the  clouds  in  a  northern  corner  of  Ancient  Attica,  rise  the  windy 
heights  of  Mount  Olympus,  eternal  home  of  the  immortals.  From  bards  of  old 
we  learn  of  its  lordly  inhabitants:  the  almighty  Zeus,  whose  thunderbolts  have 
been  hurled  at  the  earth  since  man  first  recognized  the  wrath  of  the  gods;  the 
incomparable  Aphrodite,  symbol  of  all  that  is  beautiful  and  unattainable;  the 
sceptered  Athena,  who  sprang,  precociously  enough,  full-grown  from  the  head  of 
Zeus;  the  relentless  Poseidon,  whose  capricious  trident  has  been  ever  the  bane  of 
the  mariner.  Splendid  were  the  glories  of  Elysium,  upon  which  human  eye  had 
never  gazed!  Yet  it  happened  not  so  very  long  ago,  that  the  finely-wrought  gates 
of  Mount  Olympus  swung  open,  admitting  to  the  sanctum  of  the  eternal,  another 
group  of  the  darlings  of  the  gods. 

It  is  a  beautiful  June  day.  Ceremonial  gowns  flapping  gently  in  the  soft 
breeze,  green-and-gold  beribboned  certificates  of  immortality  clutched  firmly  in 
our  hands,  we,  the  Class  of  1940  of  the  Teachers  College  of  the  City  of  Boston^ 
turn  away  from  the  frivolities  of  the  world,  to  take  our  places  among  the  honored 
of  Olympus.  Suddenly,  as  the  great  gates  swing  closed  behind  us,  a  thought 
flashes  through  our  minds.  We,  like  the  mighty  gods  about  us,  no  longer  mortal, 
are  endowed  with  omniscience.  "The  why  and  how  of  all  things  past,  present, 
and  forever  more,"  are  within  our  understanding;  all  time  is  as  one  to  us.  Our 
past  selves  as  well  as  our  present  selves  are  within  our  ken. 

Shades  of  Athena!  Lo!  there  before  our  eyes,  emerging  from  the  shadows 
are  the  astral  bodies  of  our  earth-born  selves.  Unbelievable,  but  nevertheless 
true!  Before  us  stand  ourselves  as  Freshmen  away  back  in  1936.  How  young,  how 
inexperienced,  how  bewildered  we  appear!  Just  lookl  Frasier  and  Armentrout 
burden  our  frail  young  shoulders.  Downcast  eyes  bespeak  the  humiliation  we  feel 
in  the  realization  of  our  inability  to  speak  our  own  language  correctly.  From  our 
pallor,  health  education  is  evidently  a  purely  objective  study.  As  if  all  these  mis- 
fortunes are  not  enough  to  try  the  patience  of  our  most  docile  Job,  here  come  the 
Juniors  whooping  along  the  warpath,  eyes  alight  with  mischief.  White  cotton 
stockings  we  wear  during  Freshman  Week,  and  baby  costumes  at  the  Party. 
What  a  blow  to  one's  ego!  Yet  with  prophetic  vision  we  see  these  seemingly 
Mephistophelean  Juniors  as  our  friends  and  guides  in  the  years  to  come. 

As  we  Olympian  neophytes  stand  about  the  Foyer  of  Education,  eyes  fi.xed 
on  the  scene  before  us,  that  ever-to-be-remembered  September  day  four  years  ago 
rises  from  the  mists,  and  we  watch  the  formal  introduction  of  the  new  class  to  the 
faculty.  To  us  now,  Dr.  Kennedy,  Dean  Linehan,  Miss  Sallaway,  and  our  former 
instructors  have  long  been  old  and  true  friends,  whom  we  have  known  for  years; 
yet  we  can  realize  the  timidity  and  the  uncertainty  of  our  young  shadow-selves  at 
this,  their  first  formal  meeting. 

Magically  the  year  unrolls  before  our  eyes.  The  long-awaited  party  for  our 
friendly  Junior  rivals  comes  and  goes,  though  even  on  Olympus  the  hilarity  of  the 
"famous"  Model  School  parody  still  produces  the  effect  of  "laughter  holding  both 
his  sides."  Tradition  is  as  strong  among  the  immortals  as  it  is  among  the  earth- 
born,  and  the  Freshman  preparation  of  the  daisy  chain  is  carried  on  with  all  the 
dignity  and  solemnity  of  an  Olympian  festival.  And  now,  as  the  gay,  sophisti- 
cated youngsters,  with  Else  Junker,  Mary  Sullivan,  Phyllis  Murphy,  and  Mar- 

<79} 


guerite  Barry  in  the  vanguard,  sway  to  the  rhythm  of  the  Muses  at  their  Fresh- 
man-Sophomore Prom,  our  Freshman  alter-egos  fade  away  into  the  past. 

With  all  the  charm  and  savoir-faire  of  Sophomores,  our  counterparts  of  '37 
now  appear  on  the  magic  stage;  disguised  as  young  naturalists,  their  arms  laden 
with  wild  flowers  and  gaily-tinted  leaves,  they  are  led  by  Diana  of  the  Hunt. 
As  the  procession,  marshalled  by  Mary  Sullivan,  Helen  Moran,  Mildred  Alcott, 
and  Charlotte  Fellman,  continues  in  the  background,  our  attention  is  attracted 
to  what  appears  to  be  some  sort  of  carnival.  Santa  Claus  is  Santa  Claus  wherever 
you  are,  and  his  appeal  is  not  lessened  even  on  Olympus.  Our  Sophomore  selves 
have  for  the  moment  discarded  all  vestiges  of  academic  decorum,  with  Manly 
and  Hegner  and  Cameron  into  the  bargain,  and  are  going  through  the  queerest 
antics  in  the  most  ridiculous  costumes,  much  to  the  delight  of  a  crowd  of  merry 
youngsters.  It  does  not  take  long  to  realize  that  this  is  the  Christmas  Party,  but 
what  puzzles  us  is — Where  is  the  famous  T.  C.  dignity? 

Hark!  what  is  this?  Feasting  has  ever  been  the  favorite  pastime  of  all,  gods 
and  mortals  alike,  and  now  we  gaze  upon  a  particularly  gay  supper  party.  Such 
"a  sound  of  revelry  by  night,"  and  a  grand  addition  to  the  Lampas  Fundi 

Look  ye,  now,  yonder,  toward  the  conservatory!  Can  it  be  other  than  Selma 
Younis  presiding  over  a  bower  of  daffodils  and  violets  and  bachelor  buttons? 
What  a  flood  of  perfectly  brilliant  color!  On  such  heavenly  beauty,  mortal  eye 
never  rested,  except  at  the  Sophomore  Flower  Sale. 

And  so  we  watch  another  year's  events  at  the  Citadel  of  Athena  recede  into 
the  shades  of  the  past.  Irresistible  strains  from  Orpheus'  lute  delight  our  ears  as 
the  last  of  the  procession  dances  by,  and  the  dreamed-of  Freshman-Sophomore 
Festival  at  the  Temple  of  the  Springs  is  over. 

With  something  approaching  "the  wild  surmise"  of  Cortez  as  he  gazed  at  the 
Pacific,  we  late  mortals  view  these  scenes  of  our  youthful  triumphs  and  mourn  the 
passing  of  so  bright  a  year.  Our  pensive  mood  is  short  lived,  however,  for  soon  we 
are  enthralled  by  the  vision  of  the  festivities  of  another  Freshman  Week,  culmin- 
ating in  a  Baby  Party.  The  pervading  spirit  of  fun  is  tempered  only  by  the  mem- 
ory of  our  own  freshman  days,  but  oh,  the  difference! — For  we  as  Juniors  now 
assume  the  role  of  hostesses  at  the  Faculty  Tea. 

Time  rolls  his  ceaseless  course.  From  another  of  the  green  and  gold  halls  in 
the  shadowy  land  of  yesterday  comes  the  sound  of  more  feasting.  The  Lampas  is 
again  being  feted,  and  many  a  toast  is  ofifered  to  the  new  leaders  of  the  class, — 
Virginia  Egan,  Mildred  Alcott,  Helen  Moran,  and  Selma  Younis! 

Although  the  gods  and  goddesses  have  given  us  a  royal  welcome  to  Olympus, 
yet  they  evince  little  interest  in  the  passing  events  at  which  we  are  gazing  spell- 
bound. But  our  Junior  Week  Celebration  disturbs  even  Olympian  serenity. 
Chariots  charge  about;  minstrel  bands  suddenly  appear,  and  then  are  heard  no 
more;  halls  are  decorated;  even  thunderbolts  are  hurled — and  the  first  day  of 
Junior  Week  finally  dawns.  In  the  Temple  of  the  Midday  Repast,  the  familiar 
boards  and  benches  reminding  us  of  days  of  yore,  we  see  again  the  Junior  Banquet, 
the  gods  of  revelry  holding  forth  on  this  night  of  nights.  "Then  to  the  well-trod 
stage,  anon"  troops  the  joyous  clan  (though  to  be  quite  accurate,  the  famous 
learned  sock  of  Jonson's  was  noticeably  missing  in  the  Hub  of  the  Universe  that 
week).  Hearken!  what  soft  Lydian  airs  are  these,  emanating  from  the  Temple  of 
Parker?  Who  are  the  fair  young  gods  and  goddesses  who  sway  before  the  altar  of 
the  Muses  at  this  Junior  Promenade?  And  among  the  Graces  do  we  not  recognize 
Eros?    "On  with  the  dance!    Let  joy  be  unconfined!" 

{80} 


Junior  Festivities  come  and  go,  and  now  the  Halls  of  Learning  echo  the 
sounds  of  cutting  and  pasting  and  sewing.  The  disciples  of  Athena  have  turned 
domestic,  and  the  successful  Doll  Sale  is  the  result — dolls  of  every  land  to  gladden 
the  hearts  of  all  who  care  to  help  the  Lampas. 

By  the  beards  of  Gilbert  and  Sullivan!  Nota  bene!  A  milkmaid  among  our 
scholarly  shadows!  "What  means  this  interference  of  this  bold  girl?"  And  dragoons 
and  aesthetic  maidens  and  long-haired  poets!  '"Tis  Patiencel"  Long  may  her 
triumph  be  remembered! 

Once  again  comes  a  pause  in  the  familiar  pilgrimage  upon  which  we  gaze — a 
pause  that  prepares  us  for  the  climax  of  our  four  years'  journey.  Heralded  by 
Mary  Sullivan,  Mildred  Katz,  Anna  Dowd,  and  Selma  Younis,  the  procession 
enters  the  lyceums.  Projects  and  lesson  plans  and  courses  of  study  fill  the  air, — 
and  the  teachers  of  tomorrow  take  up  their  share  in  the  tradition  of  the  service, 
"to  lead  youth  with  its  ardor  to  seek  for  the  light." 

All,  however,  is  not  pedagogical  dignity.  Now  we  are  witnessing  the  October 
Lampas  Dance;  now  the  Senior  Thespian  Festival.  As  the  year  unfolds  before  us, 
it  appears  as  though  one  fair  maiden  there  amongst  the  shadows  is  possessed  of 
the  touch  of  Midas,  for  every  goblet  of  nectar  (cup  of  tea),  and  every  morsel  of 
ambrosia  (sandwiches)  seem  to  turn  to  gold  beneath  her  fingers, — a  mighty  tri- 
umph for  the  great  god,  Lampasl 

Now  turn  your  gaze  hither,  O  gods  of  eld,  and  ye  newly-arisen,  too,  for  the 
glorious  Promenade  of  Athena's  and  Aphrodite's  elect  is  on!  "O  Youth  and 
Beauty,  loved  of  all"!  The  music  of  the  spheres  competes  with  the  melodious  hum 
of  the  golden  shafts  of  Eros.  Even  we,  on  the  heights  of  Olympus,  are  touched  by 
the  beauty  of  the  scene  before  us. 

Thus  the  fleeting  year  approaches  its  end.  The  Herculean  labors  are  exe- 
cuted,— brilliantly,  of  course.  Celebration  and  festivity  in  honor  of  the  god  of 
Completion  and  Fulfilment  reign  supreme.  A  reception  by  the  gods  and  god- 
desses of  Olympus  opens  the  Senior  Week  festivities,  followed  by  a  solemn  bac- 
calaureate ceremony.  Class  Day  brings  with  it  the  colorful  procession  of  the 
chosen,  the  graceful  daisy  chain  which  magically  traces  the  figures  1940  upon  the 
green  turf,  the  gay  and  gracious  Promenade  where  Hebe  and  Aphrodite  again 
share  the  honors.  This  is  a  day  that  will  truly  live  in  our  hearts  forever.  Now  to 
the  seashore,  as  guests  of  the  venerable  Poseidon,  crowds  the  fun-bent  troop,  for  a 
day  of  careless  frolic  in  the  sunshine.  Then  a  last  convivial  evening  of  feasting 
fills  the  cup  of  happiness  to  overflowing. 

On  the  afternoon  of  June  sixth,  the  solemn  ceremony  of  Commencement 
takes  place  not  far  from  the  Oracle  of  Athena,  and  "the  prize  we  sought  is  won!" 
Zeus  himself  is  on  the  podium ,  the  most  exalted  gods  of  the  heavens  assisting.  The 
elect  of  Olympus,  uncertain  at  first,  but  gaining  confidence  at  every  step,  begin 
their  inspired  march  along  the  untrodden  path  to  immortality.  Slowly  and 
thoughtfully,  with  hope  and  expectation  in  their  hearts,  the  Class  of  1940  of  the 
Teachers  College  of  the  City  of  Boston  turn  away  from  the  frivolities  of  the 
world,  to  take  their  places  among  the  honored  of  Olympus. 

The  shades  of  yesterday  begin  to  dissolve  in  the  bright  summer  sun.  Is  this 
really  Olympus? 

Was  it  a  vision,  or  a  waking  dream? 

Fled  is  that  music: — Do  I  wake  or  sleep?

I 

The  parting  hour  is  drawing  near, 
When  friends  must  say  farewell ; 

Of  college  days  of  joy  and  cheer 
In  years  to  come  we'll  tell. 

Once  more  we  sing  with  voices  clear, 

In  halls  we  love  so  well. 
Once  more  we  sing  with  voices  clear, 

In  halls  we  love  so  well. 


II 

Too  swiftly  sped  the  golden  days. 
The  short  sweet  years  have  flown. 

O  mem'ry,  in  thy  shining  rays 

Keep  bright  the  joys  we've  known! 

Though  paths  may  follow  varied  ways, 

True  friends  remain  our  own. 
Though  paths  may  follow  varied  ways, 

True  friends  remain  our  own. 

Ill 

God  give  us  courage  to  maintain 

Each  noble  impulse  born; 
Our  banners  bless,  our  faith  sustain, 

With  truth  our  lives  adorn. 

Then  let  us  sing  in  gladsome  strain 

To  greet  a  fair  new  morn. 
Then  let  us  sing  in  gladsome  strain 

To  greet  a  fair  new  morn.

CLASS  ESSAY 

OPTIMISM 

What  is  the  future  that  youth  faces  today?  Europe  is  in  the  throes  of  a  great 
war;  America  is  struggling  valiantly  with  serious  problems  of  unemployment, 
relief,  and  budget  balancing;  youth  is  confronted  by  a  future  more  uncertain, 
more  chaotic  than  it  has  been  for  many  a  year.  To  all  of  us  comes  the  problem  of 
tomorrow.  Each  of  our  tomorrows  will  be  different;  each  will  present  difficulties 
which  we  shall  have  to  solve  alone.  Yet  we  know  that  each  will  hold  an  abundance 
of  blessings,  which,  with  God's  grace,  we  shall  use  wisely  and  share  generously 
with  others,  remembering  always  that  these  blessings  are  only  a  part  of  God's 
great  plan.  We  grow  nearer  the  Great  Ideal  not  by  pleasures  enjoyed,  but  by 
trials  endured,  temptations  resisted,  evils  conquered;  every  difficulty  we  over- 
come, every  hill  we  climb,  every  stream  we  cross,  will  make  us  stronger,  nobler, 
Godlier.  What  happens  in  our  tomorrows  is  unimportant;  what  is  important  is 
the  manner  in  which  we  meet  what  happens.  We  cannot  fail,  we  shall  not  be 
bowed  down  in  the  dust  of  despair,  if  we  but  keep  the  optimistic  outlook,  the 
courage  that  in  life's  darkest  hour  says, 


"I  am  the  master  of  my  fate, 
I  am  the  captain  of  my  soul." 


We  speak  of  the  optimistic  outlook,  but  what  is  the  meaning  of  this  rather 
vague  term?  Unfortunately,  optimism  has  been  popularly  typified  by  Pollyanna, 
that  exponent  of  sweetness  and  light,  or  by  Mr.  Micawber  with  his  cheerful 
philosophy  of  "something  will  turn  up!"  Then  again,  optimism  has  been  ridiculed 
as  a  state  of  mental  unconsciousness  to  the  disconcerting  elements  in  life,  like  that 
of  the  Duchess  in  Alice  in  Wonderland.  But  being  an  optimist  does  not 
mean  being  a  Pollyanna,  a  Mr.  Micawber,  or  a  Duchess.  True  optimism  is  very 
different  from  the  attitude  of  these  characters  toward  life  and  its  problems. 

Pollyanna  believed  in  the  goodness  of  life,  yes — but  to  her  everything  and 
everybody  were  good,  no  pain  or  strife  or  evil  existed.  The  true  optimist,  mature 
in  mind,  recognizes  the  grief  and  suffering  that  life  exacts,  but  to  him,  life,  no 
matter  what  the  cost,  is  worth  the  price  we  all  must  pay.  Is  it  not  this  that  Sara 
Teasdale  had  in  mind  when  she  said, 

"Spend  all  you  have  for  loveliness. 
Buy  it  and  never  count  the  cost; 
For  one  white  singing  hour  of  peace 
Count  many  a  year  of  strife  well  lost." 

And  how  simple,  how  free  to  us  all  are  the  beauties  of  which  she  sings,  "Blue 
waves  whitened  on  a  cliff" — "Soaring  fire  that  sways  and  sings" — "Music  like  a 
curve  of  gold" — "Scent  of  pine  trees  in  the  rain" — "Children's  faces  looking  up, 
holding  wonder  like  a  cup." 

Truly,  "life  has  loveliness  to  sell,"  but  the  pity  of  it  is  that  we  often  are 
blind.  We  have  eyes,  but  we  see  not.  We  let  a  momentary  discouragement,  an 
unmerited  rebuke,  an  unforeseen  obstacle  close  our  eyes  to  the  beauty  that  is 

04> 


everywhere  around  us, — in  nature,  in  literature,  in  art,  in  music,  in  our  fellow  man. 
We  do  not  need  to  go  out  of  our  own  homes  or  our  own  college  to  find  those  who 
have  unselfishly  dedicated  their  lives  to  the  patient,  helpful,  sympathetic  guidance 
of  youth.  That  beautiful  word,  magnanimous,  may  fittingly  be  applied  to  these 
great-souled,  great-spirited,  great-hearted  friends  of  ours. 

Looking  back  across  the  years,  we  see  now  what,  perhaps,  we  may  have  failed 
to  see  before, — the  undying  devotion,  the  uncomplaining  toil  of  those  who  have 
helped  us  reach  our  goal.  Their  faith  in  us,  their  aid  in  our  weakness, — these  are 
not  things  isolated,  apart,  remote  from  daily  living.  All  the  world  over,  the  great 
beauty  in  human  character  is  the  chief  encouragement  and  support  of  many  a 
weary  struggle.  It  is  oftentimes  the  inspiration  that  makes  possible  the  fulfill- 
ment of  our  ideals.  Yes,  evil  exists;  but  the  good  and  the  beautiful  in  life  are 
forces  of  overwhelming  power.  True  optimism  is  not  the  belief  that  everything  in 
life  is  good,  but  simply  the  intense  realization  that  there  is  good  in  life,  and  that 
the  good  in  life  overbalances  the  pain  and  the  evil. 

Dear  Mr.  Micawber!  Dickens  has  drawn  his  portrait  so  skillfully  that  the 
cheery  fellow  has  earned  for  himself  a  place  in  the  hearts  of  the  world,  but,  for  all 
that,  he  still  remains  a  silly  old  sentimentalist.  Indeed  he  does  possess  a  cheerful 
temperament,  a  decidedly  hopeful  outlook.  He  always  says  that  "something  is 
bound  to  turn  up,"  and  for  that  something  he  is  eternally  waiting.  Waiting!  The 
true  optimist  does  not  wait  for  life  to  favor  him  with  her  blessings.  He  takes  the 
cheerful  and  hopeful  temperament  and  makes  it  work  for  him.  He  uses  hope  to 
find  a  way  through  the  problems  that  beset  him.  He  believes  that  something  is 
bound  to  turn  up  only  if  he  goes  forth  and  turns  it  up!  It  takes  courage  to  look  an 
obstacle  squarely  in  the  face,  to  say  to  it,  "You  e.xist,  and  I  know  that  you  exist; 
but  I  will  not  let  you  defeat  me  without  a  struggle."  Disappointments  are  bound 
to  come.  Life  is  full  of  bitter  ironies.  Let  us  not  permit  them  to  rob  our  hearts  of 
joy.  Let  us  face  life  with  cheerfulness  and  courage,  hope  and  faith,  for  these  are 
the  elements  of  which  true  optimism  is  made. 

Another  essential  element  of  optimism  is  a  sense  of  humor.  It  is  a  panacea  for 
the  ills  of  the  world,  for  the  wear  and  tear  of  daily  life.  It  is  a  divine  gift  that 
enables  us  to  see  the  infinitesimal  minuteness  of  ourselves  as  compared  to  the  in- 
finite universe  and  to  eternity.  It  is  a  rod  by  which  we  may  gauge  the  pettiness, 
the  fleeting  transiency  of  many  of  our  most  distracting  problems.  For  us  partic- 
ularly, engaged  as  we  shall  be  in  the  guidance  and  education  of  children,  and 
struggling  daily  with  the  thousand-and-one  problems  of  the  school-room,  a  sense 
of  humor  can  mean  the  difference  between  success  and  failure.  It  is  a  good  bal- 
ance-wheel for  life. 

One  of  the  unforgettable  scenes  of  Alice  in  Wonderland  is  that  in  which 
the  Duchess,  totally  unconscious  of  the  well-aimed  pots  and  pans  which  the 
cook  is  throwing  at  her,  and  completely  ignoring  the  howling  of  the  baby  that  she 
holds  in  her  arms,  converses  calmly  with  Alice.  Most  people  regard  the  Duchess 
only  as  an  excruciatingly  funny  character,  and  few  of  us  would  care  to  be  like 
her.  Yet  some  of  the  world's  greatest  men,  possessing  this  same  quality  of  con- 
centration, were  able  to  ignore,  or  at  least  to  minimize,  the  adverse  conditions 
that  might  have  kept  them  frorh  success.  Their  sublime  confidence  in  their  great 
aims  enabled  them  to  disregard  and  even  to  ignore  discouraging  factors  that 

{  85  > 


would  impede  their  progress.  Lincoln  in  his  fight  for  a  nation  unified  with  freedom 
for  all,  Goethals  in  building  the  canal  that  could  not  be  built,  Lindbergh  in  flying 
across  an  ocean  alone  for  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  civilization,  by  optimism 
accomplished  what  seemed  the  impossible. 

Optimism,  however,  soars  on  silvern  wings  not  by  its  belief  in  the  beauty  and 
goodness  of  life,  its  doctrine  of  courage  and  hope  in  the  face  of  despair,  its  sublime 
confidence  which  will  not  envision  defeat,  but  rather  by  its  divine  origin,  a  firm 
faith  in  God.  No  matter  what  happens  to  us,  if  we  believe  with  Browning  that 
"God's  in  his  heaven,"  how  can  we  face  life  with  an  outlook  that  is  other  than 
optimistic?    How  can  we  despair? — for  as  Arthur  Hugh  Clough  says, 

"It  fortifies  my  soul  to  know 
That  though  I  perish.  Truth  is  so; 
That,  howso'er  I  stray  or  range, 
Whate'er  I  do.  Thou  dost  not  change. 
I  steadier  step  when  I  recall 
That,  if  I  slip,  Thou  dost  not  fall." 

All  of  us  need  the  optimistic  outlook  both  for  our  own  sakes  and  for  the  sake 
of  other  people.  There  is  no  more  tedious  person  than  the  pessimist.  We  came 
into  the  world  to  live  life;  let  us  live  it  with  cheer  and  hope  and  vision,  with  firm 
belief  in  the  goodness  of  God,  and  deep  gratitude  for  His  blessings. 

Getting  a  start  in  our  profession  will  probably  be  a  long  pull  and  a  hard  one. 
Endurance  will  undoubtedly  be  a  factor  in  our  success.  But  there  is  no  power  like 
a  sunny  disposition  to  dispel  gloom  and  to  help  us  to  keep  on  trying,  for  laughter 
is  contagious.    As  a  poet  of  long  ago  said, 

"A  merry  heart  goes  all  the  day, 
A  sad  one  tires  in  a  mile-0!" 

Let  us,  therefore,  make  optimism  our  password  to  success, — the  password  that  will 
help  us  to  find  the  place  in  life  for  which  we  were  intended.  Let  us,  seeing  always 
the  silver  lining  of  even  the  darkest  cloud,  press  onward  and  upward  to  the  new 
goals  we  set  today, — this  day  that  marks  a  milestone  in  our  lives. 

Browning,  the  keynote  of  whose  life  was  optimism,  gives  us  an  inspiring 
message  for  the  years  to  come,  in  the  noble  lines, 

"One  who  never  turned  his  back  but  marched  breast  forward, 

Never  doubted  clouds  would  break. 
Never  dreamed,  though  right  were  worsted,  wrong  would  triumph, 
Held  we  fall  to  rise,  are  baffled  to  fight  better. 

Sleep  to  wake." 

Agathina  L.  di  Bella

Daisies  and  ivy  winding  today 
Our  lives  are  binding,  though  far  we  stray ; 
Memories  come  winging  as  we  are  singing, 
Flowers  all  fair  we're  bringing:

IVY  ORATION 

The  planting  of  the  ivy  is  the  traditional  ceremony  that  marks  the  closing 
of  our  college  career.  To  us  the  ivy  has  something  of  the  significance  that  the 
laurel  had  in  classic  times.  It  is  the  symbol  of  past  attainment  and  the  pro- 
phecy of  future  achievement. 

With  its  firmly  established  roots,  its  ever-spreading  branches,,  and  its 
climbing  tendrils  the  ivy  vividly  symbolizes  for  us  the  necessity  for  a  strongly 
grounded  character,  an  open-minded  search  for  knowledge  and  truth,  and  the 
fulfilling  of  high  aspirations  and  ideals. 

Just  as  the  ivy  year  by  year  sends  its  roots  deeper  into  the  soil,  so  should 
the  principles  that  form  our  characters  grow  ever  stronger  and  firmer.  Life 
demands  of  each  one  of  us  fine  principles  of  honor,  courage,  and  integrity,  that 
we  may  never  follow  false  standards,  but  always  fight  bravely  for  the  right. 

The  spreading  of  the  ivy  suggests  that  our  search  for  knowledge  should 
be  never  ending.  It  is  significant  that  the  ceremony  at  which  we  receive  our 
degrees  be  called  Commencement,  a  name  which  should  remind  us  that  our 
education  is  not  completed,  but  only  beginning.  Our  desire  for  knowledge 
should  not  be  entirely  for  its  own  sake,  but  for  the  power  it  gives  us  to  be  of  ser- 
vice to  others.  Our  obligation  is  twofold, — we  must  cherish  our  own  love  of 
learning  and  try  also  to  inspire  and  develop  it  in  others.  Knowledge  will  show 
us  man's  great  potentialities  and  make  us  more  understanding  and  tolerant. 

As  the  ivy  keeps  its  freshness  and  vigor,  so  should  we  endeavor  to  retain 
our  youthful  enthusiasm  and  interest,  never  to  be  satisfied  that  our  education 
is  completed.  Only  by  continued  effort  can  we  develop  our  own  powers  and 
increase  our  ability  to  help  others. 

The  intellectual  life  is  a  continual  search  for  truth.  We  must  first  find 
truth  in  our  own  souls.     Shakespeare  says, 

"This  above  all:  to  thine  own  self  be  true. 
And  it  must  follow  as  the  night  the  day. 
Thou  can'st  not  then  be  false  to  any  man." 

It  is  especially  necessary  for  the  teacher  to  be  true,  for  it  is  this  inner  integrity 
that  gives  her  the  power  to  lead  and  inspire  others. 

As  the  ivy  grows,  its  tendrils  reach  ever  higher  and  higher,  so  should  we  in 
our  ideals  and  aspirations  seek  always  the  best  and  noblest  in  life.  May  we 
never  be  satisfied  with  what  is  cheap  and  easily  attained.  "Not  failure,  but 
low  aim  is  crime." 

We  are  about  to  take  our  first  independent  step  in  life.  Let  us  pray  that 
the  years  may  bring  to  each  of  us  the  happiness  of  heart  and  the  peace  of  soul 
that  come  only  through  "work  done  squarely  and  unwasted  days."

CLASS  WILL 

The  time  has  come  the  Seniors  know, 
When  their  worldly  goods  they  must  bestow. 
But  before  we  bequeath  specifically, 
There's  a  general  gift  to  the  faculty. 
Our  gratitude  we  leave  en  masse 
For  all  you've  done  for  the  Senior  Class. 
And  now  our  heirs  we  wish  to  warn, 
If  you  our  simple  gifts  should  scorn. 
Remember  no  matter  what  you  find  it, 
The  gift  doesn't  count;  it's  the  thought  behind  it. 
Our  first  bequest  is  to  Dr.  Kennedy: 

Our  hearty  thanks  we  leave  with  you 

For  all  the  times  you've  seen  us  through. 

When  things  looked  black  and  hope  was  gone 

You  gave  us  leave  to  "carry  on." 
Dean  Linehan : 

Shakespeare's  works  we  leave  to  you, 

And  we  hope  you'll  read  them  through, 

So  when  Seniors  the  regular  question  bring. 

You'll  promptly  say, — "The  play's  the  thing!" 
Miss  Sallaway : 

How  to  express  our  appreciation 

We've  finally  found  with  much  elation. 

A  perfect  class  is  our  gift  to  you — 

They'll  never  ask  to  give  a  Revue. 
To  the  History  Department: 

Justice  used  a  scale,  so  we 

Leave  this  instrument  to  thee. 

With  the  hopes  that  you  will  soon 

Place  upon  it  Hayes  and  Moon; 

Then  add  Breasted,  till  it's  plain 

Why  we've  never  been  quite  sane. 
To  the  Health  Education  Department: 

We  would  not  hurt  your  reputation 

But  are  compelled  upon  observation, 

With  a  successor  to  endow 

The  skeleton  in  your  closet  now ; 

For  the  one  you've  got  is  just  a  riot. 

He  didn't  get  a  balanced  diet. 
To  the  Biology  Department: 

Since  you  left  us  without  illusions, 

We  leave  you  the  sum  of  our  conclusions: 

Frogs  pickled  in  formaldyhide 

With  lunch,  we  find,  don't  coincide. 

As  for  passing  marks — we've  lost  all  hope; 

They  couldn't  be  found  with  a  microscope. 
To  the  English  Department : 

Not  lacking  in  appreciation 

But  believing  in  eye  conservation. 

An  edition  of  Manly  we  leave  to  you. 

With  larger  print,  and  pictures,  too. 

09} 


To  the  Education  Department: 

With  I.  Q.'s  working  we  devised 

A  test  that's  really  standardized. 

First  answer's  true — three  false,  and  then 

Back  we  go  to  true  again. 

This  ratio  of  one  to  three 

Will  raise  the  median  you'll  see. 
To  the  Chemistry  Department: 

When  hydrogen-sulphide  permeates, 

An  aversion  within  us  it  creates, 

But  any  objection  will  not  do. 

So  Mischa  Auer  we  leave  with  you. 

The  class's  opinion  he's  promised  me 

He'll  tell  you  confidentially. 
To  the  Geography  Department: 

Our  gift  to  you  took  preparation — 

We  gathered  all  our  information 

About  the  sun  and  the  equator. 

Reflections  cast,  and  other  data. 

The  book  we  wrote — the  class  bestows ; 

It's  name? — Why  just  The  Shadow  Knows . 
To  Miss  Clark: 

Dear  Miss  Clark  we  here  endow 

With  a  wonderful  gift, — you  will  allow. 

Her  eyes  will  sparkle  when  she  sees 

The  Indian  tribe  of  Cherokees, 

Who'll  show  her  classes  one  by  one 

The  corn  dance  as  it  should  be  done. 
To  Miss  Trommer: 

To  our  Miss  Trommer  a  contribution 

We  make  in  fullest  retribution 

For  all  the  times,  we  sadly  state, 

We  mailed  that  letter,  but  sometimes  late; 

A  carrier  pigeon  we  give  to  you 

Who'll  see  for  certain  the  mail  goes  through. 
To  Mr.  Shea: 

Our  thanks  the  Senior  Class  bestows 

For  the  "glamour"  you  gave  us  in  many  a  pose. 

And  when  Hollywood  sees  and  claims  us — then 

You'll  proudly  say:  "I  knew  them  when." 
To  MissKallen: 

Our  gift  to  you  we  surely  trust 

Will  cure  the  Seniors  of  wanderlust. 

It's  a  cruise-car  which  without  hesitation 

Will  take  them  to  their  destination. 
To  Mr.  Read: 

The  gift  which  we  to  you  have  sent 

Is  the  other  side  of  the  argument. 

We  left  it  to  you  for  we  despaired 

Of  making  you  see  it  unimpaired, 

And  we  sent  it  because  if  we  came  too, 

You'd  find  a  third  side  and  argue  it  through. 

•{90} 


To  Miss  Donovan  and  Miss  Quintan: 

A  carton  of  wheaties  we  leave  in  your  care, 
Which  you  must  with  your  classes  share, 
They  really  need  them  more  than  you, 
For  you  can  keep  the  box  tops,  too. 
To  Miss  Midgley: 

The  Senior  Class  with  indiscretion 
Decided  to  write  on  Oral  Expression. 
The  book  to  Miss  Midgley  our  gift  will  be. 
We  can't  show  it  all — but  a  preview  you'll  see. 
"She  left  her  book,  she  felt  her  doom. 
She  took  three  paces  through  the  room, 
Her  poem  she'd  learned  not — alas — alack! 
She  turned  and  sadly  stumbled  back." 
To  Miss  Wadsworth  and  Miss  Callahan: 
Library  slips  of  a  morbid  blue 
For  overdue  books  we  leave  to  you. 
Please  use  them,  for  you  realize 
That  with  our  mood  they  harmonize. 
To  our  dear  underclassmen — 
The  Juniors: 

To  get  you  in  practice  for  observation 
We  leave  to  you  without  reservation 
Each  discipline  case  in  our  classes  of  yore, — 
While  we  go  out  and  look  for  more. 
The  Sophomores: 

A  special  gift  to  you  we've  made — 
An  announcer  from  the  Hit  Parade, 
Who'll  always  know,  you  may  rely. 
Just  who  the  swing  arrangement's  by. 
The  Freshmen : 

Though  this  year  you  haven't  been  much  in  view 
We  haven't  forgotten — we  leave  with  you 
A  wish  that  there  will  always  be 
Waiting  to  greet  you,  our  dear  T.  C. 

Now  from  these  portals  we're  about  to  pass. 
So  say  goodbye  to  the  Senior  Class. 
Though  we  depart  we  leave  behind  us 
Signs  that  help  our  friends  to  find  us: 
An  open  locker — a  battered  sneaker, 
A  set  of  excuses,  growing  weaker. 
An  underlined  Snedden — one  notebook  ring. 
And  even  the  notebook  tied  with  string. 
And  last  of  all  our  hearts  we  leave 
That  you  may  not  unduly  grieve. 
But  if  you  find  it  too  hard  forgetting. 
Just  look  us  up — we'll  be  cadetting.

One  lesson,  Nature,  let  me  learn  of  thee. 
One  lesson  which  in  every  wind  is  blown, 
One  lesson  of  two  duties  kept  at  one 
Though  the  loud  world  proclaim  their  enmity,— 

Of  toil  unsevered  from  tranquillity! 
Of  labor, — that  in  lasting  fruit  outgrows 
Far  noisier  schemes, — accomplished  in  repose, 
Too  great  for  haste,  too  high  for  rivalry!

The  Self-Government  Association  is  the  nucleus  of  all  student  activities  at 
the  Teachers  College.  The  Association  was  founded  and  is  carried  on  by  students. 
All  club  and  class  activities  are  discussed  and  approved  at  the  bi-monthly  meet- 
ings of  the  Self-Government  Council. 

The  Association  also  sponsors  those  committees  which  are  so  vital  to  the 
welfare  of  the  student  body, — the  house  committee  with  its  numerous  branches, 
and  the  store  committee. 

The  Council  conducts  several  social  events  in  the  course  of  the  college  year, 
— teas,  the  Self-Government  Association  Dance,  and  the  February  Luncheon. 

Although  the  members  of  both  the  executive  and  legislative  bodies  of  the 
Self-Government  Association  vary  from  year  to  year,  the  aim  of  that  Association 
remains  unchanged.  The  Association  was  founded  for  the  purpose  of  developing 
leadership,  self-reliance,  and  initiative  among  the  students — in  short,  to  make 
each  and  every  girl  a  better  citizen  of  our  college  democracy.

ART  CLUB 

"Art  is  mans  nature;  nature  is  God's  art." 

The  Art  Club,  having  for  its  aim  the  development  of  artistic  ability  outside 
of  the  regular  college  program,  offers  its  members  pleasure  and  instruction  in 
this  fascinating  field.  Experiments  in  varied  techniques,  illustrated  lectures,  and 
visits  to  current  art  exhibits  are  the  high  lights  of  the  year's  activities.  The  sale 
of  hand-blocked  Christmas  cards  and  the  inspiring  Nativity  tableau  presented 
each  year  are  convincing  proofs  of  the  Club's  constructive  work.  As  part  of  the 
Cooperative  Arts  Group,  the  Art  Club  aids  the  Drama  and  Music  Clubs  in  their 
productions  by  planning  and  arranging  scenery,  costumes,  and  lighting.  Thus, 
through  a  program  wide  in  scope  and  interesting  in  content,  the  Club  creates  an 
environment  where  latent  talent  may  be  discovered  and  encouraged.

"Science,  like  virtue,  is  its  own  greatest  reward." 

This  year,  the  Aquarium  Club,  the  Biology  Society,  and  the  Science  Club 
united  to  form  the  Associated  Science  Clubs,  membership  in  which  is  open  to 
all  students  of  the  college  who  are  interested  in  science.  The  Association  sponsors 
also  a  special  interest  in  the  making  of  aquaria  and  in  photography.  The  directors, 
one  for  each  division  of  the  Association,  work  together  in  conducting  the  club 
meetings,  and  separately  in  their  own  divisions.  All  members  cooperate  for  the 
annual  sale  at  Christmas,  the  proceeds  of  which  are  used  to  benefit  the  college. 
Meetings  take  the  form  of  demonstrations,  field  trips,  or  lectures  in  special  fields. 
The  Clubs  make  a  further  contribution  to  the  college  by  providing  scientific 
reference  books  which  are  at  the  disposal  of  the  entire  student  body.

ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION 

"^  girl  for  every  game  and  a  game  for  every  girl." 

The  purpose  of  the  Athletic  Association  is  to  provide  the  program  of  recrea- 
tional activities  necessary  in  an  ideal  college  curriculum.  In  addition  to  basket- 
ball, volleyball,  swimming,  skating,  and  bicycling,  games  suitable  for  small  groups 
have  been  introduced:  namely,  ping-pong,  deck-tennis,  and  quiet  table  games. 
The  members  of  the  Athletic  Association  receive  college  letters  and  numerals 
according  to  their  accomplishments  in  the  various  activities.  These  awards  are 
presented  at  the  final  meeting  of  the  year,  which  is  always  a  joyous  social  get- 
together.  The  advantages  derived  from  the  Athletic  Association  are  particularly 
valuable.  Individual  and  group  participation  contributes  physical  and  social 
benefits,  besides  developing  qualities  of  educational  leadership.

CLASSICAL  CLUB 

"  Ilaec  olim  meminisse  invahit" 

Birthdays  have  a  way  of  coming  back  very  quickly,  even  when  they  are 
celebrated  only  every  five  years.  November  16,  1939,  the  fifteenth  birthday  of 
the  Classical  Club,  has  become  a  Red  Letter  day  in  its  calendar.  Seventy  former 
members,  including  several  who  were  present  at  the  first  meeting,  recalled  their 
activities  at  Teachers  College  as  they  met  old  friends  and  turned  the  pages  of  the 
Club's  "Memory  Book."  A  telegram  from  the  first  president,  letters  from  mem- 
bers unable  to  come,  and  even  a  box  of  candy  from  a  member  of  the  faculty  made 
,  the  event  a  real  birthday  celebration.  The  Club  was  particularly  honored  by 
having  Mrs.  Kennedy  present. 

Though  the  November  celebration  stands  out  in  the  1939  activities,  the 
year's  program  included  also  the  annual  picnic  in  September,  the  Saturnalia  and 
Christmas  observance,  the  presentation  of  "Valentines  Old  and  New,"  and,  best 
of  all,  a  talk  by  Dr.  Kennedy  on  "Old  Friends  from  the  Classics."  The  annual 
banquet,  always  the  climax  of  the  year,  cemented  anew  the  bonds  of  friendship, 
reawakened  the  love  of  the  Classics,  and  reminded  all  how  modern  the  ancients

COMMERCIAL  CLUB 

"Business  could  not  make  dull: — 

Who  saw  life  steadily  and  saw  it  whole." 

This,  the  sixth  year  of  the  Commercial  Club,  has  been  marked  by  the  un- 
usual interest  of  its  meetings  and  the  exceptionally  cooperative  work  of  its  mem- 
bers. Thus  the  Club  fulfilled  its  primary  aims — the  presentation  of  professional 
information  and  the  fostering  of  friendships  for  those  whose  preferences  e.xtend 
into  the  business  field.  Among  the  speakers  whose  presence  has  given  enjoyment 
to  the  meetings  were  Assistant  Superintendent  Muldoon  and  many  former 
members  of  the  group,  who  lectured  on  Commercial  Teaching  in  the  High  Schools. 
Other  worthwhile  features  were  a  discussion  of  modern  advertising  for  the 
Christmas  season  and  the  observation  of  accounting  machines  in  operation.  As 
has  become  traditional,  the  year  was  rounded  out  by  a  Club  reunion  held  in 
conjunction  with  the  Alumni  dinner.

DRAMA  CLUB 

"Speak  the  speech,  I  pray  you,  trippingly  on  the  tongue." 

This  year's  program  confirmed  the  success  of  the  Drama  Club's  new  "Work- 
shop" poHcy — a  poHcy  which  only  last  year  materialized  from  a  nebulous  idea 
into  a  practical  reality.  As  the  name  "Workshop"  implies,  this  innovation  made 
costuming,  lighting,  staging,  and  make-up  major  problems,  calling  for  trained 
committees  for  the  Drama  Club  productions.  This  new  field  of  endeavor  has 
proved  invaluable,  since  it  gives  its  members  an  opportunity  to  secure  experience 
in  all  phases  of  dramatic  work.

LITERARY  CLUB 

"May  I  a  small  house  and  large  garden  have; 
And  a  few  friends  and  many  books." 

The  Literary  Club  was  established  for  all  those  who  love  books  and  like  to 
talk  about  them.  Discussion,  however,  is  not  the  only  activity  of  the  group. 
Among  the  highlights  of  this  year's  program  have  been  Professor  Robert  Gay's 
survey  of  poetry,  the  traditional  Christmas  presentation  of  the  Second  Shepheds' 
Play,  studies  of  the  long  poems  of  Edwin  Arlington  Robinson,  Celtic  poetry,  the 
letters  of  literary  men,  and  a  review  of  the  new  books  of  the  year.  As  in  former 
years,  the  June  meeting  was  held  at  a  literary  shrine, — this  time  in  Concord.

MATHEMATICS  SOCIETY 

''Plato  said  that  God  geometrizes  continually." 

The  Mathematics  Society,  consisting  of  undergraduate  and  graduate  stu- 
dents of  the  college,  and  also  teachers  in  service,  invites  each  year  well-known 
lecturers  to  address  its  meetings.  The  realms  of  abstract  and  practical  mathe- 
matics are  thus  brought  closer  to  us.  The  vital  and  infinite  influence  of  mathe- 
matics, not  only  in  our  own  profession,  but  in  others  as  well,  is  shown.  Real 
experience  in  the  teaching  of  mathematics,  presented  by  those  already  in  the 
profession,  helps  our  understanding  of  the  problems  involved.  The  climax  of 
the  Society's  activities  is  an  annual  banquet  which  is  attended  by  all  the  members. 
Thus  the  Mathematics  Society  provides  pleasure  as  well  as  intellectual  profit.

MUSIC  CLUB 

"Music  must  take  rank  as  the  highest  of  the  fine  arts — as  the  one 
which,   more   than  any   other,   ministers   to   human  welfare." 

For  those  girls  who  are  not  members,  the  Music  Club  has  been  the  chief 
source  of  musical  appreciation  during  their  college  years.  For  those  who  have 
taken  part  in  the  Club  activities,  this  organization  has  accomplished  its  purpose 
of  developing  an  appreciation  of  music  through  personal  participation.  Although 
this  was  not  an  "operetta  year,"  the  Music  Club  has  had  ample  opportunity 
to  give  enjoyment  and  entertainment.  The  pleasure  and  interest  of  many  a 
special  assembly  has  been  heightened  by  the  Club  choruses.  The  traditional 
choral  procession,  together  with  incidental  music  during  the  play,  greatly  en- 
riched the  Christmas  Pageant.  The  Music  Club  by  its  participation  in  the  Com- 
mencement exercises  brings  to  a  fitting  and  dignified  climax  the  year's  activities.

charm  of  music  to  many  college  events.  The  ensemble  does  much  to  heighten 
the  impressiveness  of  such  solemn  occasions  as  the  Education  Week  observances 
and  the  Commencement  Exercises,  while  the  incidental  music  provided  for  less 
formal  events,  such  as  the  Parents'  Day  Tea  and  the  Senior  Plays,  adds  an  en- 
joyable note  to  the  festivities.  Aside  from  lending  assistance  to  their  classmates, 
the  members  of  the  group  obtain  both  social  and  intellectual  benefits.  With  an 
increased  musical  knowledge  each  member  acquires  the  spirit  of  cooperation 
and  helpful  friendliness  which  characterizes  the  group.

"And  now  abideth  faith,  hope,  and  charity,  these 
three;  but  the  greatest  of  these  is  charity." 


The  Welfare  Club,  as  its  name  implies,  is  dedicated  to  service, — especially 
to  the  service  of  children  in  the  Boston  schools.  The  Club,  which  comprises  in 
its  membership  both  the  faculty  and  the  student  body,  endeavors  to  make  practi- 
cal application  of  its  motto,  "Education  for  Service;  Service  for  Education." 
Whatever  and  wherever  the  need,  the  Club  tries  to  help. 

At  Thanksgiving,  dinners  are  sent  to  homes  where  holiday  cheer  would 
otherwise  be  lacking;  and  at  Christmas,  toys  and  books,  contributed  by  the 
Boston  kindergarten  teachers  and  by  the  Club  members,  go  to  the  Children's 
Ward  of  the  City  Hospital,  to  orphanages,  and  to  settlement  houses.  Milk  is 
supplied  for  the  school-luncheons  of  undernourished  children;  and  clothing,  shoes, 
and  eye-glasses  are  provided  for  needy  pupils.  Another  activity  of  the  Club  is 
the  service  given  in  various  settlement  houses,  where  Teachers  College  students 
conduct  classes  in  music,  sewing,  dramatics,  athletics,  and  the  like.  Also  contribu- 
tions are  made  each  year  to  the  Community  Fund,  the  Junior  Red  Cross,  and 
other  worthy  causes. 

Amid  the  many  activities  of  busy  college  days,  the  Welfare  Club  helps  us 
all  to  remember  that  "the  greatest  of  these  is  Charity."

TO  TEACHERS  COLLEGE 


The  Lampds  is  burning  with  truth  gleaming  bright, 
The  goal  we  have  sought  comes  at  last  into  sight; 
Our  hearts  filled  with  gladness,  our  voices  unite 

To  sing  in  thy  praise.  Alma  Mater,  so  dear, 
To  sing  in  thy  praise.  Alma  Mater,  so  dear! 


Thou  wisest  of  teachers,  thou  mother  most  kind. 
With  love  thou  hast  guided  the  eager  young  mind. 
Ideals  great  and  noble  thou  taught  us  to  find. 

We  sing  in  thy  praise.  Alma  Mater,  so  dear. 
We  sing  in  thy  praise.  Alma  Mater,  so  dear! 


May  we.  Alma  Mater,  true  daughters  e'er  be, 
And  hold  high  the  torch  we  have  taken  from  thee 
That  youth  in  its  light  Truth  and  Justice  may  see. 

We  sing  in  thy  praise.  Alma  Mater,  so  dear. 
We  sing  in  thy  praise.  Alma  Mater,  so  dear!

MEMORIES 

1 

Have  you  forgotten  so  soon? 
Those  maps  we  used  to  make, 
The  skeleton  we  dressed, 
The  pranks  of  Junior  sisters 
Whose  authority  impressed; 
"Ho,  strike  the  flagstaff  deep!" 
With  rib-swing  and  the  rest — 
Have  you  forgotten  so  soon? 


Have  you  forgotten  so  soon? 
The  frogs  with  funny  names. 
The  heads  that  used  to  ache. 
Biology  and  Manly, 
And  exams  so  hard  to  take, 
Penmanship,  arm  movement. 
The  grade  we'd  never  make, — 
Have  you  forgotten  so  soon? 

3 
Have  you  forgotten  so  soon? 
The  Junior  maiden  fair. 
With  little  time  for  Ed., 
The  Junior  Week,  the  Supper, 
And  the  Prom  filled  all  her  head. 
Oh!  all  the  pleasant  leisure, — 
"A  light  year,"  so  they  said, — 
Have  you  forgotten  so  soon? 

4 
Have  you  forgotten  so  soon  ? 
The  thrill  of  cap  and  gown 
That  stirred  each  senior  lass; 
Sociology  discussions — 
There  were  riots  after  class. 
All  are  happy  memories. 
The  years  too  quickly  pass — 
No,  we  won't  forget  them  soon!

SONG  OF  A  SENIOR 

You  may  talk  o'  socks  and  bows 

And  how  much  a  Senior  knows — 

Or  perhaps  the  dignity  of  caps  and  gowns. 

But  as  Commencement  Day  draws  near 

And  our  minds  are  full  of  cheer, — 

We'll  stop  a  sec  to  take  you  o'er  the  grounds. 

It  was  books,  books,  books — 

In  every  nook  and  cranny  there  were  books. 

There  was  Beowulf  and  Gordy, 

And  millions  more — O  lordy! 

I  hope  I  never  see  another  book. 

Biology  came  next, 

And  even  tho'  we  had  no  text. 

There  was  always  piles  of  work  for  us  to  do. 

But  bugs  were  not  enough — 

We  had  all  that  Manly  stufT 

To  read  and  learn  and  know  for  each  review. 


Then  in  quick  succession  came 

The  men  well-known  to  fame, — 

There  was  Froebel  and  McMurry  and  Rousseau. 

And  so  three  years  flew  by, 

And  in  the  twinkling  of  an  eye 

We  were  lordly  seniors,  don't  you  know! 

Our  story  now  is  done 

And  with  it  schoolday  fun ; 

But  soon  our  new  careers  we  shall  begin. 

Our  comments  now  must  end — 

Looking  forward  is  the  trend. 

And  our  college  days  we  leave  with  merry  grin. 

Loretta  Curran

EPILOGUE 

CAVING  farewell  to  our  college  days,  we 
turn  to  meet  the  challenge  of  a  new  world . 
Our  wealth  of  memories  will  be  an  inspira- 
tion and  encouragement  to  us  in  the  future- 

"What  is  to  come  we  know  not.    But 
we  know 
That  what  has  been  was  good."
